LOOK FOR REVOLVERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 270,204, dated January 9, 1883.

' Application filed Angust21, 1882. (No model.)

To an whom it may concern:

Be known that 1, GEORGE W. CILLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Norwich, in the county of New London and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful LOt'k for Fire-Arms, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a lock-movement in a double-action pistol; and it consists in the peculiarconstruction and combination of the sickle-lever, fly-pawl, revolver'lever, and trigger.

The invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is 'an elevation, parts being shown insection. Fig. 2 is a side ele\ ation of details. Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the detals shown in Fig. 2. Fig.4 is a perspective view showing details.

A B D E, Fig. 1, represent respectively the stock, revolverc linder, and spring. The spring E is attached to the sickle-lever H by a link,E. lhis sickle-lever H passes through a recess madein the lower pal-tot the hammer D, and is pivoted to the hammer at h. The forward end, B, of the sickle-lever H rests upon the rounded upper part, K, of the trigger K, (see Figs 2, 3, and 4,)so that. an i,'movement of the trigger causes or admits of the movement of the sickle-lever. lhe trigger has pivoted to its upper part, K, by the pivot L the revolver lever L and the fly-pawl N, so that a y movement of the trigger K will cause a worresponding movement of both the cylinderlcver L and the t1 -pawl N. L, Figs. 1 and 4, is a spring attached to the revolver-lever L, and serves to force the fiy-pawl N backward,

so that its book N shall have a tendency to enter the catclrrecess P in the hammer l), Fig.1, except when the trigger K is drawn backward to near its limit of motion,as shown in Fig. 2, in which position the shoulder nonthe [iv-pawl N is in contact with the shoulder in on the trigger K. so that the-flypawl N is for ed to move in the direction of the arrow B, Fig. 2, by the backward movement of the trigger K. This movement withdraws the hook N from the catch-recess P and allows the hammer to give its blow. The forward end, B, of the sickle-levei-H,as has already been stated. rests upon the rounded end K of the. trigger K, the

[iv-pawl N being recessed, as shown at h", Figs. 3 and 4,to admit of it,and as both the fly-pawl N and the revolvenlever L are pivoted immediately to this rounded part K of the trigger K, it will be understood that allot these partsviz, the sickle-lever H, the flvpaul N, the revolver-lever L, and trigger K-nre all acted upon indirectly by the manspring E.

I claim as my invention- The cotn biuation ot' the mainspringE,link E, sickle-leverH,and trigger K K, provided with the shoulder m, withthe fly-pawl N, recessed at H, and provided with shoulders n n, hammer D, provided with the catch-recess P, revolver-lever L, and spring L, all operating together substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
